I got the go ahead to get back to the gym….tomorrow morning we start the process all over again. While i have been off i have been working on my diet. While not perfect, i have lost about 8 lbs. in the last 4 weeks just from that with no exercise. We will see what happens from here.

Finally get to have my surgury tomorrow. I have almost been completely laid up for the past three weeks, no gym, hardly ever eating. Starting to think i may be at the bottom, time for that long hard journey back up to the top.
if anyone has experience with any of this i would appreciate the emails. i have no clue what i am in for.
They are going in to repair/remove a torn meniscus
also have to repair a small part in both my MCL and my quad tendon.
Really the dr. has done a pretty good job explaining it all to me, but i just would like to chat with some people that have gone through it.
Thanks for all the support so far, after this you will be seeing a new transformation of the week contestant.

Today is the day i am supposed to do all of my measurements. Of course i cant find the tape, so i am hoping one day wont make a huge differance. I am not expecting great results. I seem to have no will power to do what is good for me, but here is the few things i have going on.
1. I have cleaned up my diet, a little. I havent been able to just make a change completely, I have started alot more fruits and veggies….which makes it so i am not as hungry for the other junk food.
2. ONE WEEK since i had my last soft drink. No suger, no caffeine, for anyone that has been following along, i was up to drinking 4-6 monster energy drinks, shoot, my DOG”S name is MONSTER. GONE all of it GONE, still kicking my ass. Have lost about 5 lbs. in the last week with this being the ONLY change.
3. I blew out my knee. I actually did this about a month ago, but wouldnt let up on all that i was doing. Now i am on massive doses of darvocet, with my right leg in a complete immobilizer, waiting to find out when i have to go have surgury. This sucks, i am probably done with softball for the year already, but i will take the time, rehab it right, and come back stronger than ever. I originally hurt this knee almost three years ago, i do not have insurance so i had to wait.
SO, thats whats going on in my world. it is amazing that despite all this sucky stuff, i am in a good mood. I do lawn care for a living, and have been unemployeed for the last four months, that helps that i am going back to work now.
So in a major change, that some of you that have been following along will understand,
Things dont seem to suck all that much right now.

I have to confess. Last week i went to sleep on tuesday. Woke up wed. and somewhere during the night i must have been bumped off my wagon. It took me until today to realize this obviously, because i have not been to the gym since then. I am not looking for sympathy here, but it just sucks right now. Money wise mostly. I went three days staying home because i didnt have enough gas to get to the gym. SO i am like most and sat home and ate, feeling sorry for myself. I just cant do it anymore. I worked my ass off for a month, then fell back to feeling worse than i have in my entire life.
I still plan to start the body for life contest. I just dont know when. I am better off still working my ass off and not having the right food? i just eat whatever i can, which isnt much better…..but better than sitting at home and eating on the couch.
So, like i said, anyone have any extra room on their wagon? I cant pitch in for gas but it should be one hell of a ride.

I just woke up about an hour ago. It is amazing how much my body is trying to tell me i NEED a monster. Today was the first day that i got my good breakfast in (thanks janet) i JUST got done eating so we will know later.
After a couple of recommendations, i have decided to start today on the body for life program. I really feel this could be the best for me right now, as it offers everything i need in the way of structure. The workout will probably kill me, but i will be in a bit better shape when i do go i guess….lol I will try to update the journy every day….but you know how it goes

I never knew i was as bad off as i am. I have made it two days without any monsters at all….and it sucks. i did drink some pop to make up for it, i needed the caffeine. I feel like crap. It will get better right? I have started “trying” some new things that i normally wouldnt, just in preperation of switching my diet more and more. If i was doing this all on my own i would be screwed…i almost feel obligated to all of you out there, and i dont wanna let everyone down. My will power just seems to be non existant.
When i work out on a normal basis i am supposed to feel all energetic, excited and “ready to go” right? So far i want to sleep, be in a bad mood and feel like crap. how long can i expect this last before feeling better? or do i need to make some kind of a change in my supplements at the least, right now i pretty much take my glucosimene fish oils, and also take some 5 htp each day. i know i should probably have a multi, but what else?

830 am 1 monster energy drink, the green one with the sugars and two sausage and cheese croissant from burger king.
12 pm two burger king double cheese burger, med. diet coke.
130 another monster
730 order of nachos and cheese and one soft taco from taco bell.
honestly this is a more normal day, but i just dont know any better really, it has just become a way of life that i HATE.
i will tell you what i think i know. i know i need to eat more often, i think about every three hours…but dont know for sure that is right.
give me some credit, i did eat some lettuce on my taco at least…you wouldnt believe the huge step that alone was. Like i said, it is time for a change and i know this can not continue. this was my “last hoorah” before i get serious.
One thing i know that causes i huge problem for me, i do not have a job right now. i own a lawn care business and dont make much in the winter, also i am in michigan and havent found any work this winter for the first time.
so we need to make this simple and cheap….but i am ready to go……first things first….more water, no more monsters…..i am ADDICTED to those damn things.

I need to get some help. Mostly on the nutrition side of things. I really would like to find a mentor, like a bodybuilder. I feel that i could benefit from the bodybuilding mentality to get in GREAT shape. Then i can adapt that size and shape into my softball life. IF anyone in the PRO BASEBALL field OR BODYBUILDER that is willing to kinda take me under your wing and get me in shape. I am dedicated to making this happen, i just dont know how.

SO, here i am one week into my weight LOSS challenge with MADCOWSTEAK. Typical challenge, 12 weeks, percentage of body weight lost.
7 days into the challenge i have worked my butt off , and managed to gain abou 6 lbs. I GAINED 6 pounds in a WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE, i am hoping i am just retaining some water, and gaining some muscle. I know i am gaining some muscle from the way my body feels and looks, i just SEEM bigger which i guess is good, but still annoying. hopefully the extra muscle will help burn more fat soon. REALLY SOON.
